Rapid transport plan revived in new situation
By Jim Bogu
UPI Stiff Writer
NEW YORK (UPD-Amld the
talk in transport circles about rail
roads' economic problems, and
kindred arguments over what to
do Willi the auto in the big city,
a few persons today arc talking
about a revival of interest in rail
rapid transit for metropolitan
areas.
Major cities long have recogniz
ed the planning headaches which
developed when most of a gener
ation of workers in a growing pop
ulation took to the highway, with
in city limits and across them,
to go to and from work. Besides
the highway, parking and gener
al traffic problems, there were
fiscal difficulties: creation of ma
jor highway systems often has
meant cutting through areas
which once gave a return in
taxes.
Among those talking about (lie
revived attention to rail rapid
transit planning there is no
thought that an anli- automobile
trend is likely. But they find indi
cations, they say, that attention
must be given to rail systems
of mass transportation.
Modern Railroads, a magazine
published in Chicago, reports that
10 of 15 major U. S. and Cana
dian cities have active plans for
new subway or other rail rapid
transit systems.
The magazine said that where
highways may quickly become
saturated with automobiles, par
ticularly in the morning and eve
ning rush hours, the rapid transit
lines usually have reserve capac
ity for meeting the demands of ad
ditional passengers. The author of
the article, engineering editor Ed
ward T. Meyers, said the need
for balanced transportation, giving
everyone a choice, is necessary
in the urban centers, but the need
for public transportation grows as
the population grows.
Thomas C. Gray, vice president
and engineering chief of the pas
senger car division of Pullman
Standard, builder of railway roll
ing stock, said he believes more
than a billion dollars will be spent
in the next 10 years for transit
and commuter type vehicles. He
made this forecast six months
ago; recently he said he thought
he may have erred on the con
servative side.
Gray said metropolitan New
York probably will spend a quar
ter of a billion on passenger roll-

Common Market nations changing tariff situation
By Geylord P. Godwin
UPI Stiff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPD - Tariff
changes in countries making up
the European economic commu
nity the Common Market are
beginning to affect world trade
in meats and other products, ac
cording to the Foreign Agricultur
al Service.
This customs union Is lowering
its rates between Individual coun
tries. At the same lime each
member of the Common Market
is generally adjusting Its tariffs
upward for nonmembers of the
customs unit in order to arrive
at the common external rates.
Tariff adjustments toward the
duty-free movement of goods be
tween Common Market countries
land the common external tariffs
I tor third countries arc scheduled
to take place in definite stages.
They will be completely adjusted
juliout 1970.
FAS said that generally the pro
posed common external duties
i on U.S. meat products shipped to
the Common Market countries of
West Germany, France, Italy,
j Netherlands, Belgium, and Lux
embourg are higher than the rates
previously In effect. Also, as there
has been a reduction in the inter
nal tariffs between member coun
tries, U.S. exporters are finding
It increasingly difficult to main
tain exports to the EEC.
For example, in 1958 West Ger
many had an import duty of 5
per cent ad valorem on Imports
of frozen pork livers from all
countries. Beginning Jan. 1, 1959,
West Germany reduced this rate
to 4.5 per cent for Common Mar
ket countries. In three other suc
cessive stages, the German tariff
on imports from France and the
other Common Market countries
has been lowered until now it Is
3.5 per cent.
At the same time the reductions
were taking place, the rate on
German imports from the United
Stales and oilier nonmembers re
mained at 5 per cent until Jan.
1. 12, when it was increased to
9.5 per cent.
Other Common Market mem
bers have been giving similar
preference to members of the cus
toms union. The current Benelux
duty on pork livers is 8.4 per
cent for Imports from Franco or
other member counties, and 14.4"
per cent for the United Slates and
other nonmembers. The proposed.
common external rato for pork
livers for the Common Market is'
20 per cent.
